Advanced auto check lite on dash and came up with with a p0552 and a 90455. I was advised to check the web for explaination.
I am a female and am accustomed to being cheated by mechanicl.
Please advise what the poss problem (poss leak somewhere) how to identify a leak and what must be done.
thank you
The codes indicate problems (leaks) with your evaporative emission control system - the canister that traps fuel vapors from your fuel tank, and then burns those vapors through the engine. Steve is correct in advising that you have your vehicle checked with a smoke machine, the fastest and surest way to find the leak(s). The system involves several hoses and valves, any of which may be damaged/broken or non-functional.

I just had the same issue with the same mileage as yours. Mine is the sending/sensing unit and it causes the range, distance to empty, etc. to be incorrect. The dealer is replacing for just under...$500. Another problem has been a whining sound under the hood, which they diagnosed as worn timing chain guides...cost to replace the guides is about $1,400. Not replacing results in the chain running on metal and chain wear, not to mention that whine. The service advisor said these two issues are the most common problems with Pathfinders. Good luck with your problems.

A lot of times, an evap code can be set by running the vehicle with the gas cap off. Also, if the gas cap is faulty, it can set the code as well. You may want to check the cap first (at least it's fairly inexpensive) and make sure it's sealing correctly. You can have the code reset at Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts. If the code comes back, you may want to consider changing the cap, but make sure you replace it with the correct one. Not all gas caps will do the trick, resulting in the code just coming back. I would recommend purchasing it from the dealer.
I hope this helps to get you started! :)
Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the code, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses.
Inspect for damaged or disconnected hoses around the Evap purge solenoid.
Check and/or replace the sensor.
Check and/or replace the purge valve.
